Help! Anyone in Colorado! I moved here in July & have had NO luck finding a GP to help me (or believe me) & my medical issues. I must have a GP on my side to get referrals to specialist. I've changed 2x's already, with no luck. Anyone know of GP, pain docs or rheumy's in state? It's been 6 months & I'm going downhill fast & continuously because no one will help me!

Hi I was recently told that my L4 and sacrum have fused and that i may have ankylosing spondylitis. I am in EXTREME pain! I saw a DO yesterday who said I need a rheumatologist I cant get an appointment till NOVEMBER 16th! I cannot walk, sit or sleep I am in a lot of pain! The DO gave me voltaren and was going to give me tramadol but I have a bad reaction to it. Im still in a lot of pain where can I get help? I cant stay like this till november!

When I see a medical professional, I take a piece of paper with my health information on it. It includes my name and address, a recent photo, all of my diagnoses, a list of all my meds with their dosages, and contact info for all of my doctors. It also includes emergency contact info. This helps when the doctor's assistant asks all those annoying questions before I'm allowed to see the doctor. After the first annoying question I simply hand over the paper?

Going to see GP again tomorrow. Starting to feel like I'm annoying her. The rheumy isn't returning her calls. GP made the initial dx of AS, but has offered nothing but NSAIDs and wait. Meanwhile, the tinnitus, and buzzing in feet and hands has gotten worse. Pain in joints is often horrid. I'm at my breaking point. Looking for suggestions as to how to be taken more seriously by GP. Not sure anymore if this is AS... Wondering about seeing a neurologists. Suggestions?

We're moving to Mississippi! Any recommendations for a Rheumy there? (This is a long shot, I know)
Asked by Catherine Terry doctors
I just wondered if anyone has experienced increasing or continuing pain and negative CRP and Sed rate? If so did any of your doctors say anything informative about this enigma?
Asked by Roman Reid humira doctors pain
We need to have doctors that specialize in AS. I have a Rheumy, but she only ask about how bad the pain in my joints feel. No one says anything about other symptoms that could be apart of the disease that I should be aware of. Primary care doctor says that she knows of the disease but can tell me anything about it. Does anyone sometimes feel like we're flying blind with this disease. Sorry, I just had to vent this morning?

Giving up, letting go & changing outlook on life. I've got multiple conditions, but Dr's only care about their specialty. I've spent 3 yrs (4 operations) dedicating my life to stop the deteriation which started at 8yo. Only definite from dr's is joints are deteriorating & won't stop. Pain mgmt isn't working, sleeping 20hrs/day & barely functioning. Trying to finish 10 yr BS degree & will never work. Decided I'm going to let go & try to enjoy the time I have left. Psych dr's agree. Feedback?

I get short of breath by not doing anything sometimes, but it seems like it comes and goes. I tell all my dr.s when they ask about it and they act like its nothing...I hope you all have some good answers?
